I wrote March’s song around the love story in Victoria Dahl‘s Bad Boys Do.  

Olivia Bishop is an “older woman” at age 35.  (Yikes, if she’s old, what does that make me?)  Recently divorced, she was dumped by her ex because she just wasn’t fun.  Ouch!  But when she begins hanging out with Jamie Donovan, a younger man (at 29), she starts to realize just how much fun she really is.  (Just in case you’re interested, here’s my review on Goodreads.)

Stop Yourself (my song), plays with these characters and their roles in a very upbeat, playful way.  I especially love the lines:

“He did the taking, the cheating, the lying.
She did the making-believing and trying.
He took her fun, left her questioning why-ing.
It’s over, it’s done, don’t try to stop yourself.”

I hope you enjoy the lyrics.  I’m looking forward to debuting this one with the others on May 4th at my SOhO gig.
